The primary communications console operated by Petty Officer Molina chimed with a piercing, double-toned alert. It was a Priority One incoming subspace transmission, carrying the encrypted seal of Starfleet Command.
When the Bridge crew routed the decoded message through the system, the text confirmed Commander Ameen's predictions perfectly.
Command had received the Commander's preliminary incident reports and the initial sensor telemetry of the alien stasis pods. Given the unprecedented age of the technology—predating Federation history by a hundred millennia—and the potential volatility of the genetically engineered occupants, Starfleet was officially taking jurisdiction over the discovery.
The transmission detailed that a Starfleet security Heavy cruiser, accompanied by a dedicated science ship, had been dispatched at maximum warp to intercept the USS Zephyr.
The ETA for the intercepting Starfleet vessels is exactly 8 Hours.
The Zephyr was ordered to maintain its current heading toward Deep Space Nine, coordinate a mid-warp rendezvous, and prepare all stasis pods—along with the crystalline data module—for immediate priority transfer upon the ships' arrival.
The ticking clock for the crew to crack the alien language and make first contact had just been set. They had exactly eight hours to get their answers before the mystery was taken out of their hands entirely.
